Introduction to the Management of Knowledge Systems Design and Deployment Projects Minitrack

2012

Knowledge systems are increasingly used to support globally distributed work. Projects are a natural means of designing and deploying such systems. There is plenty of literature on the management of information systems design projects and some literature on information systems deployment projects. However, knowledge systems are typically more complex organizationally and socially than most traditional information systems. For example, enterprise resource planning systems typically must be used to get the work done whereas many knowledge systems are voluntary to use. It is reasonable to assume that project management involved in the design and deployment of knowledge systems differs from the…

A Data Model for Describing and Exchanging Personal Achieved Learning Outcomes (PALO)

2010

Employers seek people that match particular qualifications and graduates seek jobs that match their qualifications. This market is currently managed primarily using paper certificates and heterogeneous university management systems that capture achieved learning outcomes as well as corporate information systems that capture required qualifications. In light of trends toward increased student mobility, employability and lifelong learning, this situation is less than satisfactory. Therefore, in this paper, the authors propose a schema that facilitates interoperable storage and management of Personal Achieved Learning Outcomes (PALO) based on a common data model. This paper presents use case s…

A Framework for Small Group Support in Online Collaborative Learning - Combining Collaboration Scripts and Online Tutoring

2017

Many learners experience difficulties engaging in collaborative learning activities online. Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) scripts have been implemented to support online learners. Collaboration scripts have shown much potential in facilitating students’ general collaboration skills. However, reported effects of collaboration scripts on domain-specific knowledge acquisition have been less positive. In this paper, I suggest an alternative framework for supporting CSCL learners by combining collaboration scripting and online tutoring. While collaboration scripts can facilitate the acquisition of general collaboration skills, the online tutor is capable of monitoring and asse…

SEMANTIC MANAGEMENT OF INTELLIGENT MULTI-AGENTS SYSTEMS IN A 3D ENVIRONMENT

2011

8 pages; International audience; This paper presents a new approach combining the 3D elements composing the environment of mobile agents with semantic descriptors from Building Information Models. Our proposal is based on the IFC standard, which is used in the field of Civil Engineering to build digital models of buildings during the design phase. The semantic of IFC objects composing the 3D environment is used to select and set up 3D objects and elements of simulation scenarios. The result of this process dynamically generates the input files for the JaSIM environment that performs the simulation. These files deserve the representation of the virtual environment in which the simulation is …

A Study on Different Approaches of Six-Sigma and Knowledge Management Integrated Models to Identify the Leveraging Effects

2014

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to review the different models which integrate Six Sigma and Knowledge Management (KM) approaches and also to identify the advantages and disadvantages of those models. Based on literature, the available Six Sigma and KM models have been reviewed. All the models have been critically analysed according to their structure and end users and finally the advantages and disadvantages are enlisted. The Overview expressed that more or less every model has been proposed aiming to the specific endues and each model has both strength and weakness for application to all sectors. In this article, the advantages and disadvantages of existing Six Sigma-KM models have …

A Framework of the Impact of Cyberspace on Contemporary Organizations

2006

This paper is an attempt to create a holistic approach to the problem of the impact of the elements operating in cyberspace on an organization. Firstly, a classification of the entities operating in cyberspace is offered. Next, a taxonomy of the possible types of influences of the elements of cyberspace on an organization is presented. In the following part of the paper two matrices concerning types of direct and indirect impact of the above mentioned entities are provided along with examples. Finally, conclusions are offered.

Accessibility of Norwegian Municipalities Websites: An Interactive Learning Environment Experimental Investigation

2016

Accessibility is an important aspect of websites generally and public websites particularly. Many ways could be proposed to enhance accessibility, however the impact of selected actions is hard to predict due to diversification and contradiction, in addition to the existence of the time factor. A System Dynamics simulation model including factors affecting the accessibility of Norwegian municipal websites was encapsulated in an Interactive Learning Environment (ILE). As the model promised to be able to change how users think and take decisions, this ILE was tested by users in an experiment. We have conducted a#x03B1;, a#x03B2;, and a#x03B3; change analysis on the results of this experiment.…

The Co-creation Canvas

2021

Abstract Digital transformation has become an increasingly important topic among enterprises and in research. The adoption of enterprise systems is such an investment, and it usually requires significant change management activities to realize the potential benefits. One important issue is how firms should go about to make investments in appropriate digital technology – and the appropriate changes to organizational processes and business models. This is particularly challenging for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). They generally have very limited resources, and they usually depend on external input and cooperation with other companies. Therefore, a successful strategy for many SME…
